We are proud to announce that both of our locations, NAPA Kitchen and Wine in Midlothian, VA and NAPA Kitchen and Wine in Newtown Square, PA, have been honored with Wine Spectator’s 2026 Award of Excellence.
Presented annually by Wine Spectator, the Award of Excellence recognizes restaurants whose wine programs feature thoughtfully curated selections that complement the menu and appeal to a broad range of wine lovers. The Midlothian location, which first received the Award of Excellence in 2023, has now earned the recognition for the third time. In 2026, the honor was extended to the Newtown Square location as well, underscoring the strength and consistency of NAPA Kitchen and Wine’s wine program across markets.
We are incredibly honored that both of our locations have been recognized by Wine Spectator. This award reflects the dedication of our sommeliers, managers, and culinary teams who work hard to create an approachable yet exceptional wine experience for every guest. Wine is at the heart of what we do, and we’re proud to share that passion with our communities.
